Like the cuisine, monuments, and natural treasures, alcoholic beverages are also the part of the national identity of a country. Russians have Vodka, Greeks have Uzo, but which alcoholic beverage India has and how expensive the beverage is in India?
As many states allow drinking from the age of 18, the alcoholic consumption in India has risen up to 55% in the past 20 years. This is why prohibition in liquor results in 7% of the 7000 stores selling liquor being closed down, due to the misbehavior caused by the alcohol consumption. Some states even brought this to the next level, by totally banning sale and consumption of alcohol, so if you are thinking about visiting Nagaland, Manipur, Gujarat or Bihar, you may forget about drinking there. This is how the great opportunity for beverage producers was made to increase their prices.
